Châtel is a resort located in the Portes du Soleil ski area and is preparing to welcome an exciting new addition for its skiers: a brand-new ski lift at Linga, scheduled for December 2025. This replacement of the old lift aims to offer an even more enjoyable and convenient experience for snow sports enthusiasts. Here’s a preview of what you can look forward to with this new installation.
Ski lift modernisation
Linga is replacing its old lift cabins with comfortable, detachable six-seater chairlifts.
The new Linga chairlift, a detachable 6-seater model, will be more modern, featuring wider and more comfortable seats to make the journey more pleasant for all skiers. In addition to being faster, it will help reduce waiting times, allowing everyone to make the most of their day on the slopes.
The arrival of this new chairlift is part of a broader modernisation project for the Châtel resort. It’s not just about offering greater comfort for skiers, but also about strengthening the resort’s appeal. With such improvements, Châtel continues to evolve and establish itself as a must-visit destination for mountain lovers, both in summer and winter.
An enhanced winter experience from 2025
Once in operation, the Linga chairlift will offer visitors a whole new way to enjoy the slopes. Faster and more efficient, it will allow skiers to quickly access all areas of the Portes du Soleil ski area, making it ideal for those looking to maximise their experience.
An investment that will also enhance summer activities
Lighter and faster to commission, this new facility makes access to hiking trails, mountain biking, and MTB routes easier. At the top, the alpine pastures make the mountain more accessible to families, athletes, and casual walkers. Less bulky than a gondola, it blends better into the summer landscape and provides a smoother, more consistent ride. This modernisation is also part of a drive to revitalise the resort’s summer offerings, highlighting outdoor activities while optimising the use of infrastructure throughout the year.
